Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: normal
The new GSPCA in the kernel mainline dropped support for this webcam and
probably more since
inclusion:
ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam
There's a C-hardcoded "KConfig" #ifdef in the respective GSPCA chipset module
which
passes handling of this cam to the legacy zc0301 driver but it cannot support
it:

I can remember fixing this months before but did not submit the patch for some
reason... nor can I find it
anymore up to this time.
It worked but the new gspca v4l2 main has dropped other useful things like the
brightness/contrast/color
module parameters, so it was useless to me with applications not supporting v4l
controls like
adobe flash + flashcoms video chat.

Thanks, closing the bug, then.
